Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, VT will present Scrag Mountain Music this December 27th repeating our program from May 2013. Many of you will remember Marc and Jacqui, our two incredible musician friends from South Africa via NYC. The evening features vocal chamber music by Bach, Holst, Saint-Saëns, and Britten, as well as instrumental duos by Penderecki and South African composers.

Celebrate Valentine's Day weekend Scrag-style with concerts featuring Lembit's Small Suite for clarinet, viola, double bass, and bassoon and his Songs of Remembered Love for double bass and soprano. Also on the program will be Judd Greenstein's Summer Dances. Don't miss the Very Open Rehearsal on Tuesday night!

Scrag Mountain Music will hold a “very open composing session” where the audience can witness the early stages of the composition of our world premiere and ask questions of the composer, librettist, and performers. The evening will also include a time for the public to react to the emotional content of the work and share their own experiences and observations on the aging process. The workshop is co-sponsored by the Warren Public Library and the Warren United Church.
